4.4BSD mmap(MAP_HASSEMAPHORE) supposedly gives the ability to use
shared memory semaphores via mset(), mclear(), msleep() and mwakeup().
On page 491 and 492 Uresh Vahalia says that I can do these things.
Marshall McKusick and friends are silent on the subject. So are
the man pages, and
find /usr/src/sys -name \*.\[ch] -exec grep msleep {} \; -print
says nothing either. Is Vahalia lying to me?
